Ratan Tata’s Last Rites To Be Held According To Hindu Traditions

Although prominent industrialist Ratan Tata belonged to the Parsi community, his last rites will be conducted according to Hindu tradition. Similarly, former Tata Sons Chairman Cyrus Mistry’s last rites were also performed in this manner. In Zoroastrianism, which Parsis follow, it is customary for the deceased’s body to be left in an open space to be consumed by vultures.
